Bashou's Cheer
By YuriChan220 & Major Mike Powell III
Hebijo Academy may be a place of training and education for the next generation of shinobi girls with varying degrees of red in their ledgers...but that doesn't mean that every single activity within the school is focused solely on the duties of shinobi that serve evil.
Hebijo Academy also has a public image to maintain, an image for the average folk. To that end, this school also has clubs that put on displays for the everyday person, and one such activity that has its club activities for outside the academy grounds is none other than the Cheerleader Club, which is often commissioned to put on reinvigorating displays at social and sports events in different cities and venues.
And today, the Hebijo Academy Cheerleading Club has been once again commissioned to put on a display for the local team at a college in the big city...yet, well, sometimes plans go awry.
A loud, unlady-like groan comes from the Club President as she sits at her desk in their assigned meeting room.
"Damn. It. Seriously?" She says in utter dismay, looking at the girl that just delivered the latest news.
"Yeah, Prez. I went to Kairi-chan's dorm room just earlier before class. I thought I was looking at a zombie when the door opened! Kairi-chan looked and sounded like Hell when she asked me to bring her homework after classes today. There is no way she'll be coming to rehearsals anywhere near before the date of the performance." The girl giving the report bows her head apologetically.
"...damn. Ok..." The Club President stands up from her chair and starts to pace back and forth on the spot, her four other club members and cheerleading teammates looking at her for answers. She crosses her arms, taps her forearm with an index finger.
"Let me think...let me think, girls...I can find the answer..." She says softly mostly to herself rather than her comrades.
Then, she stops mid-stride and she sharply turns to the assembled girls before her.
"The popularity polls from last month! Quickly! What were the results? And no." She asks and then quickly shuts down one girl that is about to raise her hand to reply. "No, I don't mean the top result. That's Souji-san and we're not going anywhere near her. Who was voted second?"
"...uhhh..." Another of the girls then raises her hand. "Um...it was...Bashou-san, Prez. Bashou-san was voted second." She informs and she can't help but idly rub the front of her shoe against the floor and even pout a little. "...she should have been voted first, though...she's so cute..." she adds under her breath.
"Ok. She is our answer, then!" The Club President smiles brightly and pumps a clenched fist in determination.
"..." then, she lowers her fist and stands firmly, hands on her hips. "Still, I'm open to suggestions from you, girls. We're a team. Do you girls want to try our luck with Bashou-san?" She looks at them and they all immediately nod, the girl that suggested her in the first place nodding with more enthusiasm and nearly stars in her eyes.
"YES, PREZ!" They all chorus with big smiles on their faces.
The club presidents relaxes her stance and nods, even sighing softly.
"Ok. Good, good. We'll ask Bashou-san after classes...and you! Karin!" She then points at the girl in question, who stands at attention.
"Y-Yes?!"
"You'll be my direct messenger. You'll talk to Bashou-san in the name of the team!"
"...what?!" The poor dear, Karin, gulps and immediately starts to sweat. "W-Why me, Prez?!"
"Because you named her first and gave me the saving idea. That's your prize~" The President grins and winks. Karin lets off a sigh and nods, both excited for and dreading the idea of talking to her idol later. Would Bashou even know her name to begin with...?
"Yes, Prez..." She says and her three other teammates giggle.
Later on that day, when she's finally had the chance to address Bashou as she is getting her materials in her bag after class, with Ibuki, Ashiya and Souji moving over to the greenette's desk…
"U-UM! Excuse me! Bashou-san?" The most beautiful violet eyes she has ever seen look her way as Bashou's attention is hers, and…
"Yes? Karin-san? What is it?"
Karin for a moment looks like she just died and went to Heaven. 'SHE KNOWS MY NAME! I'M SO HAPPY! Oh crap! The Prez' message!'
The glasses wearing, long-haired dark brunette, bookworm but a bit nervous, swallows hard. "U-ummm…! Y-you know…this is rather an emergency. Y-you see, one of our members called in sick and we cannot practice without her. So ummm….uhhh…"
"Yes, go on?" Bashou smiles. Karin's heart skips a beat seeing that wonderful smile.
"Uhhhh…what I'm trying to say is…" Karin bows her head. "Our Cheerleading club needs you, Bashou-san! I'm also part of the team so that's why I came here to give you the message, in the name of the club President!"
Bashou and her teammates fall silent. The greenette cannot say a word. This is a big surprise for her. Souji can't help but giggle, Ashiya laughs nervously and Ibuki giggles.
"W-well ummm…" Bashou is about to give her answer when Ibuki butts in
"Bashou-chan would LOOOVE to join you~" The pig-tailed masochist says.
"EHHHHHHH!?" Bashou squeaks.
Souji chuckles. "To see her in a cheerleading outfit? I would vote for Bashou too."
"May the Lord wish Bashou good luck!" Ashiya pulls out her talisman.
"N-no…I…" she looks at Karin who is desperate for an answer. She then sighs. "Alright…I'll go…"
"YAAAAY! Thanks so much!" Karin takes Bashou's hands in hers. "I can't wait for you to show up! I'm sure the prez will be pleased!"
"Y-yeah…" Bashou sweat drops.
"See ya later!" Karin rushes off with a happy smile on her face.
After that happened, Bashou slumps in her seat, sighing heavily.
"Girls…why did you decide for me…?" Bashou whimpers. "I am not cut out for cheerleading."
"Well…why not~?" Ibuki shrugs.
"I only write poems and do calligraphy!" Bashou says. "Cheerleading is not my specialty. She should've asked Sou-chan."
"Hmph~" Souji flips her hair. "I only stand there and look beautiful. That's all I do."
"But you would excel at cheerleading!" Bashou pleads. "Come on, Sou-chan! I'm sure they would approve of you rather than me!"
"Why would they ask you then?" Souji grins.
"Uhhhh…." Bashou whines and turns to Ashiya for help.
"I'm the Apostle of the Lord," the red head says, holding up her talisman. "I have a job beyond cheerleading."
"You're just a regular schoolgirl and a shinobi!" Bashou squeaks. "Surely, you can try cheerleading and gain a lot of friends!"
"As much as I want more followers," Ashiya says. "This is rather a bit out of my league."
Bashou knows she's completely out of options, yet even so, she looks pleadingly at Ibuki, who's just happily smiling.
"...I'm not even going to try to reason with you, Ibuki-chan..." Bashou knows better.
She knows her dear friends and girlfriend only have the best intentions at heart for her. They are open with each other to the point where Bashou can read between the lines. In that regard, she is grateful to them...but she can't help but feel the massive pressure being put on her shoulders, having said "yes" to begin with.
"Mou...Sou-chan, at least..." The green-haired sweetie then turns to her smiling girlfriend, who idly flips her hair. "At least...hold my hand and stick around when I go meet with the cheerleading club, please?"
The beautiful, exotic ruby eyes of Souji get a twinkle in them and she tenderly takes Bashou's soft hand in hers.
"Sure, Ba-chan. I'll be your beacon of light and beauty, I'll help you shine brightly, and I'll~be the first to see you in a cheerleading outfit~" She says and she gives a wink to Ashiya and Ibuki. "And no, I will not take any pictures. Sorry, you two."
"Ahhh, Soujiii! You traitooor!" Ibuki pouts and whines.
"Hmmmph. An unfortunate development. My Lord will have to wait till the actual performance to gaze at Bashou through my eyes, then!" Ashiya holds her talisman tightly to her chest, pouting as well.
Bashou can only caress Souji's knuckles with the pad of her thumb, both dismayed and amazed at being the only relatively normal one in this proverbial circus of friends she has.
Sometime later, Bashou and her friends arrive at the president's door.
"Alright, girls," Bashou takes a few deep breaths. "This is it."
"We're here for you." Souji says, patting her girlfriend on the head.
And so, after Bashou gives her answer to the Prez, the pony-tailed dark haired girl is all smiles and welcomes her with open arms. She is offered a sexy cheerleading outfit and is told to change in the locker room, now that they have all the members.
Bashou nods and quickly changes. When she comes out, as promised, Souji is the first to see the cheerleading outfit with her own eyes.
"You look magnificent," she says.
"Oh ummm…thanks…"
Bashou dons a revealing tank top with the words "Cheer" in the front, short frilly skirt and white knee high socks with white sneakers on her feet. She is also wearing a blue wrist band on her right wrist.
"You're stunning~" Ibuki says.
"People and the Lord will love you," Ashiya says.
Souji could've sworn that there are sparkles around the greenette. She is truly dazzling.
Once Bashou shows herself in front of the members, the club president, Sumi, squeals excitedly.
"Nice!" She exclaims. "We got out star, now we can practice for real! Come along, Bashou-san"
Souji, Ashiya and Ibuki watch from the sidelines. The cheerleaders are to perform a pyramid with Bashou jumping on top to give the loudest cheer.
The practice begins and the girls give their excellent cheers. They do flips, jumps and do the splits, throwing their pom poms in the air and catching them. Bashou does the same, even though her voice is slightly softer than the rest.
Then they do the finale: the pyramid. Three girls on the bottom. Two girls on top. Then Bashou jumps high to get to the top. But when she lands, the "pyramid" begins to tumble and "break", making the girls fall on their behinds. Souji and the rest gasp.
Bashou sits up, whining with tears in her eyes. She is already failing her squad. But the prez puts a hand on her shoulder with a reassuring smile.
"It's a mistake, don't worry," Sumi says. "Let get up and try again! And be louder next time."
Karin is the first to offer her hand to Bashou, with the three other girls of the cheerleader squad nodding and smiling at the fallen greenette.
"Yes, Bashou-san! No matter how many times, if anyone falls, we'll get back up again!" She and the Club President's smiles encourage Bashou to take their offered hands. They help her get back on her cute feet and the precious artist Senran gives a slight nod.
"O-Ok..." She agrees.
"That's the spirit! Now, c'mon, let us hear your voice, let everyone hear your voice!" The President squeezes Bashou's shoulder and they get into position again, with Bashou in the back preparing for the jump to the top of the pyramid, ready for the running start.
"Win!"
"Win!"
"Do your best!"
"In it to win it!"
The girls say one after the other, with Bashou awaiting her cue, resisting the urge to tap her foot in time with the calls. Bashou gulps and then, she catches a glance of Karin and the President looking back at her from their positions, looking at Bashou with smiles.
"WIN IT!"
"..." Bashou lets out a soft breath and squeezes her eyes shut for just a single second before she begins her dash to build the momentum to jump onto the top of the pyramid her teammates get into position to form.
Bashou's beautiful violet eyes nearly shine and she smiles.
"WIN IT BECAUSE VICTORY IS EVERLASTING!"
And thus, she ends her run and takes a leap...and she can't help but add an absolutely beautiful, awe-inspiring flip and spin along her path towards landing on Karin and President Sumi's backs.
"VICTORY!" The entire squad cheers with Bashou raising both pom-poms in her hands once she touches down at the top of the pyramid, sweat flying off of her brow, making her look absolutely dazzling.
There's a solid two seconds of silence afterward, and then there's giggles from everyone in the team.
They steadily help Bashou climb back down from the top of the pyramid, then they all stand upright.
"Haaaah, my goodness that was awesome! That's exactly what I wanted!" Sumi gives a loud sigh of satisfaction, looking at the blushing Bashou with a big smile and a thumb's up.
"Yeah, Bashou-san! Wow! You were amazing! C-Can, can I take a selfie with you?!" Karin is nearly bouncing where she stands next to Bashou and her bespectacled eyes have stars in them, the girl barely containing her excitement from the perfect display they just put on.
Bashou gives a soft, awkward chuckle but nods regardless, with Karin giving off a cute little squeal of happiness as she hugs Bashou by the shoulders and snaps a photo on her phone, immortalizing in digital memory the bashful smile of her idol.
"Ok. Now, now, you two. There is still plenty of rehearsals to do before the day of the event, but man I already want Bashou-san to sign up for our club forever! Haha~!" President Sumi can't help but add.
Bashou sweatdrops but she smiles apologetically, knowing this would be a one-time thing. She knows she can't just take the sick member's place just like that.
The girls share a giggle and Bashou joins in, feeling amazing about herself.
When practice is over and the sun has already gone down over the horizon, Bashou is finally where she feels most comfortable. She's back in her and Souji's dorm room, getting ready to take off her cheerleader uniform to get into her comfier night clothes...yet she suddenly feels Souji's hand touch her shoulder and hand.
She gasps as she turns to her breath-takingly beautiful and narcissistic girlfriend and she gulps when she sees the look in the ruby eyes of Souji.
"Ba-chan. No. not yet. Don't take it off yet. I want you like this...you look amazing, not just your body, but your eyes...you're dazzling." Souji says, her voice thick with passion. Bashou gives a soft little "E-Eh?" before she finds her girlfriend on top of her on their single bed, Souji straddling Bashou with the greenette's legs dangling off the edge of the bed.
"Won't you...cheer for me...as I give you my love~?" Souji nigh purrs before her lips capture Bashou's in a sweet, gentle yet passionate kiss.
"Fweh….mmm….mmchu…haaah…Sou-chan…" Bashou gasps in surprise before getting dominated by her dear lover.
She relaxes and the two kiss like there's no tomorrow. Tongues caress each other and soft moans come from both of the girls.
They pull away for a second to gaze into each other's eyes.
"You did wonderful, Ba-chan~" she whispers. "I'm proud of you~"
Bashou smiles and raises her arm to caress her lover's cheek. "Thanks to your support. I couldn't have done it without you, Shiya-chan or Ibuki-chan…"
They kiss once more.
"Then…would you mind…?" Souji traces her finger on Bashou's thick thigh and travels upwards.
Bashou knows exactly what she is talking about. "Go ahead…let's…make love..."
And so, the girls indulge and loud cries and moans come from outside of their dorm room...and among those beautiful sounds are some strings of words that sound quite like sexy cheers.
